It shouldn't take a pandemic to convince people to put their mental health above their careers. In the long run, the choice between success and well-being is a false dichotomy. The best way to achieve your goals is to lead a life that invigorates you—not one that drains you.

I decided to work today. It was about the most creative, productive and satisfying thing I could do to counter the drivel oozing from our media

Third article I've seen spouting this rubbish in as many weeks. Extending an open invitation for contributors to meet with the groups of young people we work with and explain how 'advantaged' not being white, male and from Private School makes them.

My daughter is a nurse. I’ll pass on the advice that what she needs to do is get a different, better paying job.

🤔 How can I focus and avoid distractions? 🤔 How can I remember what I have revised? Hear from Beth Sumner and Karen Williams from the School of Education as they share their top revision tips to reduce stress and anxiety 👉 wlv.ac.uk/news-and-events/wl…

It's going to go quiet on here over Easter. Although I know most students are beavering away on their assignments/dissertations, we do hope you get some time for R and R (...and possibly some chocolate).@wlv_nasenco @ed_ypfc @wlv_ecs @ypfc_wlv

Alas, having remembered it when it was first released, to me it would feel like an invitation to join the other incumbents in said churchyard
Walking back from the tube at night here there's one brief dark/creepy bit, past the churchyard. As I approached it just now I could see and hear a group of lads hanging out. Music playing. Got closer. It was "Yes Sir I Can Boogie" and reader, in that moment, I was not afraid 😍
